This paper demonstrates an application of computational aeroacoustics to the prediction of noise generated by a round nozzle jet flow. In this study, the nozzle internal flow and the free jet flow outside are computed simultaneously by a high-order accurate, multi-block, large-eddy simulation (LES) code with overset grid capability. To simulate the jet flow field and its radiated noise, we solve the governing equations on approximately 370 million grid points using high-fidelity numerical schemes developed for computational aeroacoustics. Projection of the near-field noise to the far-field is accomplished by coupling the LES data with the Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings method. The main emphasis of these simulations is to compute the jet flow in sufficient detail to accurately capture the physical processes that lead to noise generation. Two separate simulations are performed using turbulent and laminar inflow conditions at the jet nozzle inlet. Simulation results are compared with the corresponding experimental measurements. Results show that nozzle inflow conditions have an influence on the jet flow field and far-field noise.

Abstract Detailed near- and far-field acoustic measurements were conducted for two circular stepped nozzles with 30 deg and 60 deg design inclinations at over- and perfectly-expanded supersonic jet flow conditions and compared to those for a circular nonstepped nozzle. Far-field acoustic results show that stepped nozzles play an insignificant role in altering noise emissions at perfectly expanded condition. At an over-expanded condition, however, the longer stepped nozzle produces significant noise reductions at the sideline and upstream quadrants, while the shorter stepped nozzle does not. Noise spectra analysis and Schlieren visualizations show that noise reduction can be primarily attributed to mitigations in the broadband shock-associated noise (BSAN), due to the ability of the longer stepped nozzle in suppressing shock strengths at downstream region. Near-field acoustic measurements reveal that the source region, as well as the intensity of turbulent and shock noises, are highly sensitive to the stepped nozzle configuration. Furthermore, BSAN seems to be eliminated by the longer stepped nozzle in near-field region due to the shock structure modifications.

AbstractThe Instability modal behavior of coherent structures in a jet-small cylinder impinging flow field is extensively studied by hot-wire anemometry measurements. The free jet is employed with a small cylinder of 3 mm in diameter located in the potential core region at the impinging length of L/H = 1.5 for the near field impingement and L/H = 4 for the far field impingement. The jet exit velocity is operated at 10 m/sec with the Reynolds number of 1.03 × 104 based on the nozzle exit width H = 15mm. The impinging jet is locally excited at the nozzle exit with varicose mode (m =0) and sinuous mode (m = 1) disturbances at the fundamental frequency of the natural jet flow. Data indicate that the jet flow is greatly altered and significantly enhanced by strengthening the coherent structures of the flow due to resonance according to the feedback mechanism. Although the original natural jet preferably exhibits the varicose mode, the strong sinuous mode is dominant in the flow field owing to the presence of the small cylinder in the potential core region. In the near field impingement, the wake region behind the cylinder preserves the pure sinuous mode to where the jet vortices merge and then mildly fades out. Whereas in the jet shear layer, the sinuous mode exists in the initial portion and gradually transforms to the varicose mode. In the far field impingement, the alternate mode dominates in each frequency stage in pure impinging case and the modal behavior follows the selected mode with the introducing acoustic waves in the acoustic excitation cases.

Axial Mass

Axial mass transport due to the combined effects of flow oscillation and a turbulent jet was studied both experimentally and with a simple theoretical model. The experiments show that the distance over which turbulence enhances transport is greatly increased by flow oscillation, and is particularly sensitive to tidal volume. The jet flow rate and jet configuration are relatively less important. To analyze the results, the region influenced by the jet is divided into two zones: a near field in which the time-mean flow velocities are larger than the turbulent fluctuations, and a far field where the time-mean flow is essentially zero. In the far field, axial mass transport is increased due to the turbulence which decays in strength away from the jet. When oscillatory flow is superimposed upon the steady jet flow, the turbulence in the far field interacts with the flow oscillations to augment the transport of turbulence energy and of mass. This transport enhancement is modeled by introducing an effective axial diffusivity analogous to that used in laminar oscillatory flow.
